If you’re a fan of Stranger Things, you probably had a problem with how the show treated the characters of Eleven and Max in season two.

Max (Sadie Sink) arrived in town and immediately made her way into Eleven’s (Millie Bobby Brown) proverbial burn book. The Netflix show pitted the two young girls against each other courtesy of Eleven’s jealousy over what she perceived to be a burgeoning flirtation between Max and Mike, which wasn’t even a thing.

Season two of Stranger Things appeared to reinforce the exceedingly boring pop culture notion that boys and girls can never just be friends without something else getting in the way, and that girls will always, always end up at loggerheads when there’s a cute boy in the picture. Fine. Fine. Whatever. But also, do better Stranger Things!
